Added: 12 Jan 2012
This medium curly light caramel brunette updo hairstyle with light blonde highlights is perfect for medium hair. If you have curly, light brown, or medium caramel-colored hair at the root and light blonde highlights, then this hairstyle would be perfect for you.

Our model's elegant updo hairstyle highlights her light caramel brunette hair with light blonde highlights. She is wearing a black topless gown, which she paired up with a white pearl necklace. Minimalistic pink makeup and baby-pink color glossy lips make this hairstyle more attractive and eye-catching! For this hairstyle, this highlighted half-up 'do is styled into soft waves and pinned to the side of the head to form this brilliant 'do perfectly for any special occasion. This look is great for those with long face shapes wanting a style to wow the crowds and stun onlookers. This curly, light caramel brunette updo hairstyle is perfect for women with thin to medium-textured hair that needs a little texture or lifts to make them look full and voluminous. This style helps cover thinning areas, potheads, and fine hair. This curly, light caramel updo hairstyle is the perfect way to add dimension and depth to your look. The middle part is kept tight to create this flattering hairstyle. The sides are left loose, allowing for movement of your hair as it goes down around your face.

The light caramel brunette color is perfect for every day. This curly updo hairstyle is easy to care for and maintain with regular trims after 4-6 weeks to prevent split ends. This look is simple, but little details make it look pulled together. We pinch the ends and rub our hands together to create a textured finish. Then, we use a light smoothing shine and add some light root highlights with a curling iron to finish our look.

step 1

Apply styling mousse to damp hair, using your palm as a measuring guide, and evenly distribute it along the hair shaft. Styling mousse will add hold and can help achieve better results.


step 2

Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your right eye and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even right part. A side part is great for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.


step 3

A medium radial brush is used on medium to long hair types to smooth out wavy or curly hair textures or to add body to straight hair. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure bristle as this will not tear or damage the hair.


step 4

To blow-dry under, start at the nape/back and place your brush under the section of hair close to the nape. With the dryer held up over the hair, pull the brush from the roots and continue to the mid length's, keeping the blow-dryer following over the top. Once you reach the ends, curve them under. Repeat this step until the section is completely dry.


step 5

To blow-dry the sides, take out a small section of hair from the front and clip the rest of the hair away. Next, place the brush under the section and then pull the brush and hair forward around your face (this curving motion creates body). Place the hair-dryer on top of the brush until you reach the ends and then turn the ends under. Repeat until dry.


step 6

To blow-dry your bangs to the side, clip the back and side sections up, leaving just your bangs out. Place your brush beneath your bangs, holding your hair to the side and remembering to hold the tension between your hair and brush. With your blow-dryer on a low setting, apply heat by starting at the roots and make sure to stretch your hair out to the ends. Repeat until your hair is dry.


step 7

A large curling iron is used to create large soft curls and can be used to add body.


step 8

Take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your mid-lengths. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards.


step 9

Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips and then lightly piece and pinch the ends of your hair.


step 10

Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then run it through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Be careful not to add any to the roots or a large amount to any section of the hair as smoothing shine can be very heavy on the hair, weighing it down and making it appear oily.


step 11

To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
